[mythtv-users] XVMC Doesnt work the first time

[Mario Limonciello]

I'm using a CVS checkout of myth from earlier this afternoon, and 
running into issues with XvMC.

If I try to enable it the first time on a fresh boot I'll get errors as 
follows:

Now if I launch xine I'll also get XvMC related errors:

supermario at supermario ~ $ xine 
/mnt/video/1013_20050411190000_20050411193000 nuv
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.3.
(c) 2000-2004 The xine Team.
abort: video_out_xvmc.c:668: xvmc_set_context: Aborting.
Aborted

The second time I launch Xine however, it will work just as it should.
If I launch myth after the fact, I'll get some color key related errors, 
but XvMC actually works.  Is there any particular reason why this should 
be happening?
